One of the tiredest tropes surrounding death videos by lathe, like this one, is the interjection of the “you spin me round, round” video/lyrics by homo 80’s rockers, Dead or Alive.

I guarantee you that if the death video involves an unfortunate soul getting caught or trapped in a merciless mechanical situation in which their tender, fragile body is rotated at inhuman speeds for a prolonged period of time, someone, a commenter, will pipe in with the 30-year-old song.

Tired tropes are what connect us, I suppose. Cyber small talk.

When I saw this video (another) of a Chinese worker snatched up by a deadly lathe, I stuck out the whole video. It gets boring at a certain points because the dude just…spins. Over and over. Then I became mesmerized by the gradually collecting blood splatter on the ground every time his body struck the floor on its clock-like downward arcs.

And if you stick around to the end, you will be greeted by the most amazing dismount. The dude killed it (too bad he was killed first).
